A friend has sent the VINDICAToR a
copy Of the Kingston ulster Co., N. Y. J
s'Gazette" of January 4th, 1900. It is in
mourning for the death of George Wash
ington, which had occurred a little more
than two weeks before and the account of
whose burial had just come by stage. The
account q. SI6 funeral says there were
three plates on the coffin; On the one at
the head was inscribed, ''Surge ct judi
cium -; on another, "Gloria Deo," and Cd
the middle plate. General George Wash
ington Departed this life on the 14th De-
cember, 1893, Ht SO. We see from the
proceedings in the House of Representa-
tives when the death of the President was
officially announced, that Mr.. Marshall
made the announcing speech and offered
esolutions in one of which we find
possibly The origin Of historic phrase:
'Resolved. That a committee. in con-
junction with one from the Senate, be ap-
pointed to consider on the most suitable
manner OF paying honors to the memory
of the man Grst in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his country"
The annual message of President Adams
to Congress is model of brevity and
would not fill quarter of column OF
the VINDICAToR. He congratulates the
country that ''the rebellion has been
crushed" his reference being to the
Whiskey instruction in Pennsylvania
for the suppression of which he highly
compliments the volunteers and militia
The same paper contains the latest news
from the war in Europe. Napoleon had
just returned to France from his cam
paign in Egypt. In the battles which
were going On between the Allies and The
French the former were being badly
worsted and the reports Of victorious
movements to the rear by the Allies re
mind us very strongly of the reports or
both side during the American civil war

Accused, - written by Judge George B.

the criminal has only the right to testify

FOR DIVISION.
Coming Campaign In Dakota-ln-
Justice to 0nr People.

The Coming Campaign In DakOta-ln-
Justice to onr People.
Omaha Bee: DAKOTA has entered D
on q campaign which is expected 10
finally determine the desire of the peo-
Pile of that territory for division and ad-
mission. The south Dakota convention
III July declared ..that we reaffirm the,
declarations already many times made In
constitutional conventions, Legislative
assemblies and memorials to congress,
thst we are analtefably opposed to adj
mission as a WHOLE" end further de
ciared that division was sought 'Ior the
eminent, economically and well admin
lsssred, wall be more readily secured
for both secttoua than by admission ga o
whole ;sshat therefore we shall have our
proper and rightfnl representation In
congress. preserve that just balance of
power TO. which q great population
shcnlds be entitled, and secure the high
est permanent good for both north, and
south Dakota The campaign that mas
Just begnn will be conducted upon the
line indicated by these declarations, and
every effort will be made to get out q
full vote In November, SO that the result
shall be conclusive as to the will of the
people.
The injustice of the wholly partisan
considerations which have induced o
disregard of the appeals of Dakota tor
admission to statehood snnot be fairly
Questioned. 1t ia without parallel in
the conntry's HISTORY, and strikingly
shows the extremity to which o party
may go ia order to deprive the opposI-
ton of a possible advantage. In this
case the citizens Of Dakota have been
denied citizenship in the face Of over
Whelmlng facts emitting them to il, the
pretext being that the people were
divided upon the question whether the
territory should be admitted as = whole
or q division made. The record shows
that majority have always
supported the latter propagation.
The refusal to give Dakota. state.
hood has been an injury rs we'll as an
injustice to the people of the territory,
Besides denying them political rights
which they should now be enjoying, it
has been unfavorsble to tha material
progress OF the territory. In respect to
the public school system and judicial
administration the inability OF the
people TO leglslate for themselves has
been o very serious disadvantage. 1t ia
aaid that nowhere else in the United
States is the machinery of the courts as
wholly inadequate Tor the transaction oil
public business as in Dakota, and as q
consequence the courts are hopelessly in
arrears.
At the November election the people
OF the entire territory are to express
their preference and the result ought
to be final. The ofices OF the TERRITORY
are in itis5 hands OF democrats, and these
have been working lealously to strength
On the sentiment in favor OF admission
90 q whole. II tho people shall again
declare Tor division and admission, as il
is not doubted they will, there will be
no further excuse for the refusal Of CON.
gress to acoede to their demand, and the
country will inaist that il shall be re-
gardsd.
